Clemco Blast Rooms For Farm Implements
Agricultural implement finishing involves frames, hitches, tanks, shanks, guards, attachments and welded assemblies that need dependable surface preparation before liquid paint or powder coating. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services blast rooms, abrasive blast booths, media reclaim systems, powder booths, ovens, exhaust ductwork, make-up air equipment and utility connections for these production flows.

Implement Shapes And Part Support
Farm implement parts vary from long frames to dense welded attachments. A Clemco style blast room should leave room for racks, carts, rotation points and operator reach so corners, welds and undersides can be prepared without blocking doors or reclaim areas.
Prep Flow To Coating Or Cure
Blasting, blowdown, masking, coating and curing need a clean sequence. The layout should keep abrasive dust away from powder booths, liquid spray areas and oven loading zones while supporting the actual part mix moving through the plant.
Media Recovery For Seasonal Loads
Implement work can have changing production peaks and abrasive loads. Reclaim equipment, dust collectors, filters and service aisles should be accessible during busy periods so maintenance does not depend on clearing the entire finishing department.
Details To Bring To Layout Review
Useful site visit information includes largest part dimensions, rack or cart details, coating method, oven or booth locations, compressed air capacity, electrical points, roof access, floor condition and photos of the current process.
Frequently asked questions
What makes agricultural implement prep challenging?
Irregular frames, welded corners, soil-facing surfaces, attachments and rack changes can make access and media recovery more complex.
How should blast prep relate to powder coating?
The blast area should be separated and ventilated so dust does not migrate into powder application, reclaim or cure oven loading areas.
What utilities are commonly involved?
Compressed air, electrical service, exhaust fans, dust collection, make-up air, heat connections and control wiring are commonly reviewed.
What should be photographed before a site visit?
Photograph the current blast area, coating area, utility routes, roof or wall penetrations, damaged equipment and the largest or most awkward parts.
